4-H Animal and Agricultural Science grows true leaders via a model that utilizes animal and agriculture for positive youth development. Youth participate in fun, educational and sometimes competitive activities to gain skills. A member does not need to own a project animal to be in an Animal Science 4-H Project! Click on any of the links below to find out more information on the New Hampshire 4-H Animal and Agricultural Science Projects!
All 4-H project animals must be entered in 4HOnline by June 1 for NH shows. Deadlines vary for BIG E (ESE). For more information see Forms, resources and Fact sheets for members, volunteers, leaders and parents
